Five easy ways to cut your booze costs

Wine doesn't have to break the bank, here are some quick tips to slash the cost every time:

Be aware of marketing tricks: A supermarket’s job is to make us spend, so don't fall for the tricks. Often great bargains are hidden on the bottom shelves so make sure your hunt high and low for a deal.

Don't be a supermarket snob: Aldi and Lidl have decent, award-winning wine at really good prices. Try taste testing various supermarkets and make a note of the bargains you love so you can find them again.

Be wary of duty free: You might think you’re getting a bargain in duty free but you may find the same wine cheaper elsewhere.

Buy in bulk: Buying wine in cases will often give you the best value for your money. Look out for deals in supermarkets which give you 25 per cent off when buying six bottles.
